Lower School Distance Learning Plan

Teachers have planned activities connected to our curriculum guided by clear learning objectives. There will be a balance between digital and non-digital activities. The primary form of communication between Lower School teachers and families will be email and classroom blogs. We recognize that every family’s circumstances are different and that completion of some of these activities, particularly for students in lower grades, will require increased parent supervision and engagement. We request Lower School parents partner with teachers by providing support in the following ways:

Monitor class blog and/or email updates daily Share the learning activities with your child and check in with her regarding her progress Contact your daughter’s Lower School teacher with questions or suggestions

Middle School Distance Learning Plan

All assignments and resources will be linked on your daughter’s course pages in SaintsNet. If a class is to meet in real-time, "virtually," it will be done during the scheduled class time in order to avoid students having overlapping virtual classes. The teachers will let students know in advance about these real-time sessions.

Expectations for Students:

❑ Establish daily routines for engaging in learning ❑ Identify a comfortable, quiet space in your home where you can work effectively and successfully ❑ Regularly check email and SaintsNet for announcements, assignments and communication from your teachers ❑ Complete assignments with integrity and academic honesty, doing your best work ❑ Follow the St. Catherine’s Responsible Technology Use Policy ❑ Do your best to meet timelines, commitments, and due dates ❑ Communicate proactively with your teachers and Grade Level Leaders if you have questions, are unable to meet deadlines, or if you need additional support
